Just to say my practice has sent me to TJ for a few appointments, including Saturday and Sunday at short notice, with both nurse and doctor. The service is completely separate to the GP practice based at TJ and is run by the Extended Primary Care Service, I believe on behalf of several GP practices in the area.
"The Enhanced Access Service provides patients in south Southwark with additional GP and nurse appointments. This means that there is primary care available seven days a week. On any given day, these appointments help a GP practice to manage their capacity and provide care for their patients even if their own appointments are fully booked. We offer enhanced access arrangements within south Southwark."

An incredibly naive response which continues to completely miss the point. WHY should you have to go anywhere else? TJ should be up to standards just like everywhere else.
Sure, leave somewhere that does offer good services, once you can get in, to join yet another shoddy surgery to be sent back to TJ for an appointment.
Good thinking!
